Players Photo ID Help Needed 1914(?) White Sox High Res Photos Added 11/29

[btcarfagno]

Hello all,

I always love the photo ID threads and the tremendous knowledge and expertise that comes from them. Therefore, of course, I need to sgtart one of my own!

This photo is purported to be of the Chicago White Sox as they return from nearly getting caught in the Kansas flood. My assumption is that this would make the year 1914, and judging by the caps on some of them that could well be accurate.

I am hoping that I can get some help in identifying as many of them as possible. I think I may have identified Shano Collins and Ray Schalk but I am terrible at this facial recognition stuff...so I defer to the experts.

Many thanks for any help.

I can fix the contrast to some degree, but except for a few guys near the front, what you posted is way too blurry. The bill caps seem to be too short for White Sox 1914, but I'm not sure. You have someone who may be Collins (on right 4th from the front) and another who may be Nixie Callahan (near front on left with bow tie and bowler hat in hand), and that may be Cicotte just right of him. Can we get a better scan? What other evidence do you have?

Those hats do appear similar to the ones used during the 1913/1914 World tour.

When I get it in hand I will scan it and hopefully that will be of morre help. I thought that the gentleman seated in the first row with the suspenders might be Schalk.

He's not Schalk.

The only possibilities I saw were Fournier and Jim Scott, but I actually saw two guys who looked like each, for each, so I'm not sure at all.

Wow I am terrible at this.

The one person I don't see is Buck Weaver. Which means he is probably front and center somewhere.
